Small vocabulary cards are a powerful tool for teaching house furniture vocabulary to elementary ESL students. Their small size makes them perfect for interactive games, speaking activities, and vocabulary review. These furniture small cards help young learners practice important house vocabulary such as lamp, clock, bathtub, and chair while improving speaking, listening, and memory skills. Teachers can easily use these ESL vocabulary cards for individual practice, group work, and classroom games.

 Print these ESL house furniture vocabulary cards and use them as flexible teaching tools for vocabulary practice, speaking activities, and interactive ESL games.

Listen and draw the furniture items. Practice the furniture vocabulary with cards. These furniture vocabulary cards help reinforce vocabulary through repetition, which improves memory and helps ESL students remember new English words more effectively.

Teacher: Lamp! Draw a lamp.

Take a look at the video of the vocabulary activity:

Write the word. The small size of the cards helps maintain learners' focus on individual items. I used letters stickers to write the words that are on each small card.

Students can also draw pictures to illustrate each word.

Have the students say sentences as a speaking activity. Check the video:

Show me the furniture. Teachers can quickly assess students' knowledge with this easy activity.

Place several furniture vocabulary small cards on the table or board. Hold up a flashcard and ask students to find the matching small card. Students then say a sentence, such as:

It is a clock.

It is a lamp.

It is a chair.

This activity helps develop speaking confidence and reinforces house furniture vocabulary.

My example video.

Adjective-noun phrase using small cards. This grammar exercise can be easily adjusted to suit different proficiency levels in your class. Write adjective and noun words on small cards. Have the students write adjective words that you either dictate or that they write on the cards.

Students will match the item on the small card and the adjectives cards. They can write these phrases on their notebooks.

Here's the video:

Guess the furniture item. Cards facilitate group work, allowing students to practice speaking and listening skills collaboratively. Place the small cards on a table. Write the word that the students will guess on a piece of paper and hide it. Have the students ask questions to guess: Is it pink?

Teacher: No, it isn’t. It’s not a bathtub. (You can take away that small card)
Students: Is it round? Is it a circle?
Teacher: Yes, it is!
Students: It’s a clock!
